It was an early Monday morning for Mikan; after all today is her first day at Alice Academy. Whilst she was prepping up in her new room, singing her to her favourite songs. The door creaked open revealing a grey haired child, rubbing his eyes.
'Help me get dressed.' The boy commanded.
'Of course.' Mikan chirped in reply. Making her way into his room, still dark as the curtains are drawn shut. The girl picked out a similar uniform to hers. Firstly, wrapping the white shirt over him, and buttoning up. Then helping him into his red pinafore trousers. Once his socks are on, Youichi goes to the bathroom to finish brushing his teeth and washing his face. During that time Mikan draws open the curtains and makes his bed.
'Shiki is going to drive us there after breakfast.' Youichi said, whilst the two walked down from the stairs on the top floor that contains rooms for the Hyuuga siblings and Youichi's Nanny.
Mikan nodded, and noticed two golden stars shining brightly on the corner of his collar. 'What is that star?' Mikan asked, as she sat down on the table. Anna strolled out in the same uniform as Mikan, her hands filled with two plates of a full English breakfast.
'My star ranking.' Youichi curtly replied. Then stuffed his face.
'What is a star ranking?' Mikan questioned again, determined to get answers. Anna placed four obento boxes on the mahogany table. Anna's collar shone with one golden star. 'Wait, you have one too Anna!' Mikan said, pointing.
'You know we are in a rush, finish your breakfast!' Youcihi demanded aggressively. As Mikan practically poured the rest of the food into her mouth, Shiki popped around the corner.
'We are ready to leave. Mikan grab the grey and orange obentos. They are Youichi's and yours.' Shiki instructed, then strolled to the hallway, as a teen boy strolled down the stairs, into the dining room, a satchel in hand.
'Anna, is my breakfast there?' Natsume politely asked. His eyes flickering to a Mikan who was standing up.
'Yes,' With that answer, the boy grabbed his red obento, and as Mikan approach the end of the table to grab her obentos, the boy flicked her skirt up.
'Welcome to AA, Strawberry Panties.' The boy shouted loud and clear, making sure the embarrassed girl heard. Then he left.
'YOU PERVERTED, RED EYED, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!' Mikan screeched as she threw her fists up in the air. Then grabbed the obentos and left the room, tailing Youichi into a black car. Once they entered the car, a motorbike dashed in front of the window, disappearing into the distance.
In the car, Anna sat at one of the window seats opening her floral backpack, ensuring she had everything she needed. Youichi sat in the middle, dozing off. Mikan following in his stead. Missing a Mochu entering the car, and the car speedily driving to its destination.
'Oi, Anna, what's her name?'
'Mikan,' The pink haired girl spoke. Mikan stirred and opened her big brown eyes opened to see a scowling face, she loudly squealed, waking up the child next to her.
'Oi, you do not have to be scared, dude.' The boy glared down at her. Then properly sat back down at his seat.
'We are here!' Anna said excitedly. The car drove into the school grounds, halting at a car park. The two teens dashed out, looking for their friends, leaving a Mikan, Youichi, and Shiki in the car.
'Do not look for me for anything during school time, meet me at the Sakura tree when you finish school, make sure no one follows you there.' Youichi said listlessly, as he pulled a small map from his pockets and giving it to Mikan. Then the boy left a confused Mikan, as she clutched the map.
Shiki sighed, thinking 'why does he always have to tie up the loose ends.' He pointed to a large building. 'You need to find the reception. It's pretty obvious. Then tell them you are a new student here. Understand?'
The young girl nodded, her eyes widening in realisation that she has to face going to school alone. When she should have realised that everyone in the house goes to this school. 'Bye Shiki, see you after school.' Mikan said, leaving the car. When a bell rang through the school indicating its beginning.
'Hurry up, school is in session,' Shiki said, motioning to Mikan. The girl dashed away into the large building, as the car slowly drove off into the distance.
As Mikan jogged to the entrance of the building, her eyes recognised the back of a raven haired teen, talking animatedly with a girl. Mikan's eyes narrowed as she marched up to the couple. Tapping her finger on the shoulders of this person she shouted. 'How dare you flick my skirt up this morning!' the girl cried. The boy spun around, revealing dark blue eyes, widening at the strange accusation, and a very prominent and not Natsume-like star tattoo.
'I apologise, but I would never do something so offensive to such an adorable girl like yourself.' The boy spoke gently with hands raised in the air, as if surrendering himself to the now very confused and scared girl.
'Oh, no I am terribly sorry!' Mikan said, bowing constantly.
'Eh, I would not be surprised Tsubasa does this kind of shit.' The boy's companion spoke abruptly.
'Now now Mis-'
'My name is Misaki Harada, this is Tsubasa Andou.' The girl said, extending her hand, once she flicked her long dark pink hair behind her. 'So did you actually do it?' The girl said to Tsubasa.
'Of course not! I will never do such horrendous crimes.' The boy said, rubbing the back of his head, in anxious fear of being smacked by his friend.
'If I recall, Nobara told me-'
'Nonsense!'
'What about that senior? Rui Amane, but then you realised he was a guy!' The girl started shrieking in laughter, holding her stomach, and a hand over the accused criminal who attempted to hit on his seniors. Out of embarrassment, he dragged the girl away from Mikan, who was once again left in a confused state of shock.
The teen made her way towards the reception. There, she encountered a stern looking face glaring at her as viciously as Natsume had. However, the man did not have Natsume's charm, but greasy hair that clung to the side of his face. A frog sat on the shoulder of his old fashioned waist coat. His thin lips opened 'Mikan Sakura?' He gestured his wooden ruler at her. 'I do not tolerate your tardiness.' The cruel voice continued as he tapped the ruler on his hand. 'Now to class.' He said, making his way towards a separate building on the left of the reception.
Mikan quietly followed she couldn't help but think about her new classmates. 'Are Alice Academy students as strange as the two I met earlier?' she couldn't stop dreading to meet her classmates.
